    I have always enjoyed games against the Scots and have missed the home internationals.

    They were a great way to round off the season and generated some income for all the Associations in the process.

    Always amazed me when this game was played at the old Wembley.......95,000 jocks and 5,000 England fans....and that is no exaggeration.

    They always travel well the Scots. I can remember (long, long ago) a pre season friendly at the Dell against Hearts and there were thousands of them. Obviously it was a chance for many of them to see the sun for the first time but very impressive following nonetheless.

    I find it really difficult to care about England after the shambles of the World Cup.

    So much so that I'm going out for dinner instead of watching it. My only hope is that Clyne and Forster both escape from this pointless game uninjured.

    I do hope these games become more regular would be good to see. You never know, we could meet one of the home nations in our Euro 2016 group.

    Still got a bad feeling about this game, we all know how hard working WGS teams are n I think they will just want it more. Glad Clyne has kept his place tho n good for Fraser to play at Celtic Park again.

    Yes and he's very lonely in Southampton with Corkie (also English).

    I think it`ll be a good open game. It`ll be a change for England not to play a team that`ll sit back and defend.

    Well, the loud booing of God Save the Queen was predictable.

    Just because you bottled independence doesn't mean you have to boo us.
